About Us

Our Business : Capt. Stacy was started over 60 years ago in the early 1960s by Captain Sonny and his wife Joyce Davis. Capt. Sonny fished with his father as a mate and also captained a boat by the age of 17. Sonny and Joyce met at age 18, and got married in their early 20’s. Sonny built his first headboat and started his own business, which he named after his father Capt. Stacy Davis. Capt. Sonny ran the boat with his wife Joyce taking reservations. When his sons Maurice and Joe were old enough, they worked as deckhands. His daughter Loretta took over the bookkeeping at the age of 15.

Capt. Sonny, his wife, daughter, sons and grandchildren are still actively involved in the business.

Our Captain : For the last 38 years Capt. Sonny’s son, Captain Maurice Davis uses the knowledge given from his father and grandfather, combined with his own experience to find the fish and put you on them.

Our crew and Staff : We pride ourselves in having a helpful, friendly, and experienced crew. Our deckhands Joe (brother of Capt. Maurice), Trey (son of Capt. Maurice) and a few others, will be of the best help, so you can enjoy your fishing trip. Faith, Terry and Loretta will be more than able and happy to book you on a fishing trip that will best suite your fishing needs. If it’s a sports fishing charter for Marlin, Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi or bottom fishing for Vermilion Red Snapper, Grouper, Trigger Fish or Black Sea Bass they can set you up.

The Boat : Capt. Stacy IV is a 83ft headboat equipped with some of the most modern electronics available, and was re-powered in the Spring of 2008. The Capt. Stacy IV is licensed for 100 passengers however, keeps passenger loads to 60 passengers or less on an offshore trip.
